Happy Christmas Kate,All the holly up the golf course has had the berries taken by the birds at the beginning of December so there's not much left ,the ivy has also gone over with not much to look at at all,may be next year will be more productive,And a Happy New year to you.Oldchippy.

A friend and I spent last Saturday making HUGE wreaths with Rosemary, Juniper, Eucalyptus, Leylandii, Ivy, a ribbon or two, pine cones, no berries but they looked great. I have got mine attached to the five bar gate with a bicycle lock. I don't think that you have to have berries for decorations to work; to me I am celebrating the turning of the year, the days get longer from now on so it is greenery that one wants to mark the long approach to spring.
